Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Parchment paper
- Airtight container
Ingredients
- 1 cup instant oats
- ½ cup raw cashew butter or almond butter
- ⅓ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut optional, for rolling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, chia seeds, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add cashew butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of warm water. If too soft, add more oats or flaxseed.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all mixture is used. Roll in shredded coconut if desired.
- Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Use slightly runny nut butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Chill the dough before rolling to prevent sticking.
- Double the batch and freeze half for longer storage.
